U.S.reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and Said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as Long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every Nation a veto.
The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush 'S Administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national Controls were better.
Having discussed this possibility with a friend a few months ago, it seems like someone is being TOLD A LIE and there are only two options; 1) The International Community or 2) the American people.
Because of how Health-Care reform was pushed through while 55% of the American public was against it, I think we Americans are in line to get shafted again! Perhaps the Constitution and the Bill of Rights don't matter anymore to some, but they matter to me!
Seems like this Administration really has an Agenda and I for one don't like it...Good thing there are millions more Americans who agree with me! It will be interesting to see how this plays out!
On a side note: President Obama is in favor of Nuclear Power or is he? Look at this article from the Los Angeles Times regarding the closing Yucca Mtn. (the place where nuclear material is stored). I don't know how you can promote Nuclear power and close the only storage location for it's fuel. Hmmmm?? Something is fishy here!!!!

Hey David,
I'm not being facetious, I am just trying to figure out what international arms trading has to do with the right to bear arms for U.S. citizens?
Thanks,
John
John,
Great question, I am fearful that the deal will lead to all Americans being forced to give up their guns as Nations agree to this International Treaty. Perhaps it will not come to that, but I want people to know more about what could be happening.
